Supercharging is the easiest and most cost effective means of
adding an average of 46% more horsepower and 31% torque to your
vehicle. Actual numbers may vary for your application.

There are many ways to increase
performance. Add up the cost and time involved with all the
external bolt-ons and you will find that you get about half the
power of a Vortech supercharging system for around the same
price. Add up the cost and time involved and extensive internal
engine upgrades and you will find it will compromise
driveability, emissions, and will not deliver the performance
you expected for considerably more money than a Vortech
supercharging system. Vortech supercharger systems are street
legal, offer more horsepower per dollar and install in less time
than performing internal engine modifications. We offer
Vortech's full line of products so if you do not see a product
listed, please call 702-262-0011.

Vortech supercharging systems deliver
maximum value for your performance dollar. Each system is 100% complete,
right down to the wire ties. The following items are included with every
Vortech supercharging system at the time of purchase (unless otherwise
noted):

Utilizing precision ground gears to drive its impeller, the
V-1 incorporates the strength of superior design with the
quality and testing that make Vortech famous.

The V-2 SQ model is considered the new generation among
superchargers. Highly advanced computer designed gears
feature an optimized helical profile which allows for near
silent operation while providing superior performance.

The V-3 supercharger features an internally lubricated
transmission, which allows for supercharger installation and
operation without oil lines.

SUPERCHARGERS

Supercharger Comparison Chart

The supercharger has proven to be one
of the most effective means for obtaining increased
power from an internal combustion engine without having
to make major engine modifications. This is accomplished
by compressing combustion air before it enters the
cylinders, which increases density. This results in
improved cylinder filling, allowing more air and fuel to
be burned in the combustion cycle, with dramatic
increases in torque and horsepower.

Vortech superchargers operate on
fundamental and proven turbomachinery principles, first
described by Euler's turbomachinery equation developed
in the 18th Century. This principle states that the work
imparted to a fluid by an impeller is related to the
change in angular momentum of the fluid. From these
humble beginnings, the centrifugal compressor has
evolved and found its way to becoming the most efficient
and reliable means for delivering charge air at high
pressures. Vortech has seized upon these known
performance advantages and has developed its line of
centrifugal superchargers to a performance level that
clearly establishes Vortech as the performance and
technology leader in aftermarket supercharging.

Advanced Compressor Stage

Here's where the rubber meets the
road. Vortech's compressor stages are highly evolved,
thoroughly tested designs, resulting from more than 20
years of experience and thousands of production
supercharger units. A simple visual examination clearly
shows the difference. All Vortech compressors
incorporate sophisticated impeller designs, coupled to a
parallel wall diffuser, with a progressive scroll, or
volute exit stage. Impellers employ advanced aerodynamic
features such as optimized inducer blading, splitters,
and in some cases, exit rake and backsweep... all
depending on the particular pressure/flow objectives.
Rather than a simple change of blower speed to effect
different "models", each Vortech supercharger is
optimized aerodynamically so that best performance is
attained for a specific vehicle application.

In order to effectively take advantage
of impeller work, flow must be efficiently diffused so
that pressure rise can be generated with minimal losses.
Unfortunately, a simple "cut-and-paste" won't work.
Instead, the diffuser is optimally matched to the
impeller flow physics, with many iterations tested and
verified until maximum efficiency is achieved with each
supercharger design. Finally, a matched volute
effectively collects and diffuses further, resulting in
additional pressure rise. The result? Isentropic
efficiencies as high as 83%! In fact, all Vortech
compressors achieve at least 72% peak efficiency, with
better than 65% efficiency achieved over a majority of
design flow range (surge to choke).

Componentry

Vortech componentry has garnered a
reputation for its "best in class" execution. Blower
casing components are cast from A356 aircraft-spec
aluminum alloy treated to T-6 condition. Modern CNC
production cells ensure that part tolerances are held
into the "tenths" (of a thousandth of an inch) - to, and
in many cases beyond aircraft tolerances.

Impeller

The heart of any centrifugal
supercharger is the impeller. We make impellers from
both investment cast and billet materials. Our
investment castings are from an extremely strong but
light-weight proprietary aluminum alloy (similar to that
used in turbochargers). This special heat treated
material is used because of its stability and enhanced
properties at high operating temperatures - which may
reach 400 degrees F under extreme conditions. At this
temperature, the Vortech impeller is up to 36% stronger
than even 7075, a common structural aluminum material
used by others. The investment cast process secures
close dimensional tolerance and excellent surface
finish. Beyond this, our billet racing impellers are
second to none. These are made from custom forged blanks
of a proprietary metallurgical blend, that ensures exact
tolerances. And finally, multi-plane dynamic balancing
to better than ISO G0.4 tolerances delivers smooth
operation. The historical use of these same procedures
in building aircraft turbomachinery components for the
most demanding applications proves its durability.

Bearings

Vortech bearings are ultra-high
precision (ABEC 7/ABEC 9) pieces that originate from the
best precision bearing manufacturers in the world. Most
are custom manufactured to our specifications. Aircraft
quality is truly an understatement here, since these
bearings experience speeds as much as twice that of a
jet engine.

Lubrication System

Vortech offers both engine-oil-fed and
internally lubricated superchargers. Our V-3 units are
factory prefilled with our special synthetic fluid - so,
no oil supply or drain lines are necessary. Our
traditional V2 oil-fed units make use of the host engine
lubrication circuit, which may optionally be
fine-filtered before introducing to the supercharger.
